I don't care if the death penalty is reserved for only the most heinous of crimes. One innocent person being killed by the state is too high of a price.

That's also not to mention that the death penalty is disproportionately used against people of color. The death penalty doesn't just have a racist past. It has a racist present.

The death penalty is lynching made legal. The victims and lack of mercy and humanity remain the same.

The death penalty is lynching made legal. The victims and lack of mercy and humanity remain the same. The attempts to medicalize and 'objectify' the death penalty are merely attempts for us white people to try to maintain a holier-than-thou attitude towards it. Make no mistake, it's nothing more than a lynching.

@timelordiroh it’s absurd and archaic. All of the US Justice system is abhorrent. We know so much more about how to rehabilitate people than we did in the past but we refuse to apply any of this knowledge and that’s just fucking abominable.

@timelordiroh When I was in college, I was on the fence about the death penalty, leaning against.

One semester of law school and reading actual cases and learning things like homicide statutes where the only difference between capital murder and capital punishment is the person in the robe signing the order... Yeah, it shouldn't be a thing anymore.

@timelordiroh With cases like Marcellus Williams where there's evidence mishandling that may have destroyed evidence that could have exonerated the man, but due to some procedural limitation, they won't even entertain the possibility of NOT killing him.
